Hapuku River Terrace, Eco Tiny House Escape.

HaritinaRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Overall winner out of all places we’ve ever stayed. It is a tiny house but exceptionally decorated, with the most tasteful furniture, appliances, curtains, (the kitchen too), sink and even the keyring has so much style. All so clean! The small garden surrounding the house is so well designed. And the house has real plants inside that are very healthy and a great addition. When we arrived it had the most magnificent night sky: dark and you could see the centre of the Milky Way climbing at Zenith. And when we were about to say “how can it get better than this”, the outdoor bath was simply something else. It was such a joy to stay here. And even if it wasn’t for the most incredible sunrise we’d still think is simply the best place we’ve ever stayed.

Of all the places I have stayed this one might be the nicest. Absolutely beautifully decorated with every amenity you could want. The beds were really comfortable with little extras like electric bed warmers and a heater in the bathroom. It was quiet with a spectacular view of the ocean. This is a special place.

A cozy living area features a mix of seating options, including a brown sofa and a gray armchair. A small coffee table sits atop a patterned rug, while a wood-burning stove provides warmth. Large windows invite natural light and offer views of the surrounding landscape.

Manakau Lodge; Kaikoura luxury & tranquility

TomRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Spectacular view and comfort. Janice had every detail covered. Directions were excellent. Very easy to find location. The inside and outside was gorgeous. Beds were comfortable. Water was hot. Hot tub jets and temperature was ideal. Very spacious (there were 7 of us … from 30’s to 60 years old). Janice was prompt in responding and thorough. Close to town … restaurants, bars, shopping, grocery stores, gas stations, Dusky dolphin snorkeling, kayaking, sightseeing fur seals, zip lining and so much more. We HIGHLY recommend Janice’s place.
